Lighting Fun

Okay these will be regarded as a little silly by some and as perfect by others. We still use nightlights in our house even though two of our kids are taller than we are and have facial hair. (The other lives in California.) The reason is simple: our hallway is dark and anyone who needs to get up in the middle of the night or — as is more the case in our house — walk down the hall WAY after the parents are in bed to their rooms, ideally VERY quietly, could kill themselves without a little light to guide the way. I love the idea of one of these lighting the hall instead or perhaps in the bathroom for guests who need to get up in the middle of the night in a strange house. Besides, what a great conversation starter! They’re available at Twig, a delightful Web site run by Elizabeth Burbage, who basically just buys cool stuff she likes and sells it. And this is her JOB! Right. The Candeloos come in a set of two, blue/green or red/pink. Cost is $39.
